Benefits of technology

The side visor cover effectively utilizes existing side visors for improved ventilation, reduces wind noise, and prevents rain from entering the vehicle by adjusting the sealing portion to match the gap between the window glass and the visor, ensuring efficient airflow and enhanced vehicle comfort.

Problems solved by technology

However, since an opening direction of the gap at the upper part of the door formed by slightly rolling down the side window glass is parallel to a flow of air outside the car, not only discharge of air by a negative pressure cannot be efficiently carried out from the upper part, but also air in the car discharged from a door front part flows upward through an outer part of the side window glass to again enter the car from the gap at the upper part in some cases.
Further, in a state where the side window glass has been rolled up, a swirling current is generated between a rear end of the side visor and the side window glass, thereby increasing wind noise.

Abstract

A side visor is effectively utilized to perform sufficient ventilation in a car.A cover is attached on a vehicle side visor 21 provided along a window frame 14 of a vehicle door. The cover 31 comprises: a cover attachment portion 32 which can be attached on an outer surface of the side visor and has a lower edge along a lower edge of the side visor; a tabular sealing portion 33 whose outer rim is integrally connected with the lower edge of the cover attachment portion and whose inner rim faces a rolled-up window glass 13; and an elastic material 34 which is attached on the inner rim of the sealing portion and formed to come into contact with an outer surface of the rolled-up window glass. The sealing portion 33 may comprise a first sealing plate and a second sealing plate which is superimposed and attached on the first sealing plate so as to be capable of moving in a car widthwise direction. On the other hand, the sealing portion may be formed in a curve in such a manner that it declines as getting close to the rolled-up window glass of the door. Further, a lamp 36 may be attached on the cover attachment portion or the like.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a vehicle side visor cover attached on a side visor provided along a window frame of a vehicle door. More particularly, the present invention relates to a vehicle side visor cover which facilitates air ventilation in a car by slightly rolling down a window glass during traveling of a vehicle.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A vehicle side visor is conventionally formed into a window-roof shape which covers a front part and an upper part of a window glass covered with a window frame of a vehicle door, and an upper edge of this side visor is attached on the window frame. In a vehicle having such a side visor provided thereto, when the window glass is slightly rolled down during traveling, air flowing in the vicinity of the side visor forms a negative pressure, and air in a car is outwardly discharged from an opened gap, thereby ventilating the inside of the car. This side visor prevents rain drops from entering the car even if the side window g...
